• Notes

  There is controversy regarding her name. She is shown as an unknown daughter of Hamelin d'Anjou and his 2nd wife in Medieval Lands. Wikipedia shows her as "Clemence (aka Adela)", confusing her with King John's 2nd mistress, as shown in Medieval Lands. "Adela" is popular in family trees, but without source documentation. It may be a variation of "Ela", who is shown as another sister in both Medieval Lands and Wikipedia. But they could be one and the same. From Wikipedia: "Clemence (aka Adela), mistress of her cousin[b] King John, and by him the mother of Richard FitzRoy, feudal baron of Chilham,[7] in Kent.[8]" From Medieval Lands: [daughter (-[killed 1200]). According to Given-Wilson & Curteis[1426], one of the mistresses of King John was the "sister of William de Warenne" but the authors do not specify which sister she was. The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester names "Richard fiz le rei…Ion" and "the erles daughter of Wareine" his mother[1427]. The Annales Cestrienses record in 1200 that “W. de Waren meunch fil Regis” was killed[1428]. Christie suggests that one possibility is that “meunch” in this source may represent a contraction of “mater Richardi”, another possibility being that it represents “avunculus” and that the entry refers to the death of William de Warenne (although if that is correct, the date makes little sense)[1429]. Mistress of JOHN of England, son of HENRY II King of England & Eléonore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral). He succeeded in 1199 as JOHN King of England.] [Source: The Medieval Lands Project, "Daughter of Hamelin d'Anjou", retrieved 1 October 2018, dvmansur; see link in Sources.] ELA de Warenne ). The Complete Peerage names “Ela” as daughter of Earl William and her husbands firstly “Robert de Newburn of whom nothing is known” and secondly “William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough”, but does not cite the primary sources on which this information is based[1422]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not yet been identified. m firstly ROBERT de Newburn, son of ---. m secondly as his [second] wife, WILLIAM FitzWilliam of Sprotbrough, Yorkshire, son of WILLIAM FitzWilliam & his wife Avice de Tanai (-[9 Feb 1219/1224]).
